Camp - To Try to Attend -
I don't often 'stamp' many camp programs in the country -but this one
http://www.otterbasketball.com/
I would encourage all ballhandlers to look to attend, as there are various sessions throughout our region. As with any camp - the information is valuable and they work you hard but if you don't follow up with repetition of what you have learned then it is a waste of $. I hope some of you look to attend & if you have questions let me know as we have had past players attend & can direct you to them to ask them questions about their experience as it has always been positive feedback.

March 12 5:45-7:15pm
All returning players - Mandatory @ 5pm
Parents - Encouraged To Attend

Basketball Player Meeting -
Topics to Discussed

Open Shooting/Gym -
I have given the girls a sign up sheet to use the "Shooting Gun"
(click here to see) in the mornings before school -
"The Gym Rats Club". Starting
We will be logging how many shots they take before Nov 1 and season beginning. They are allowed to come in and shoot at other baskets or work on skills as well, the sign up is just to use the machine. If they have a partner the can keep track of their shots that way at other baskets as well.

There is a 15 min ball handling routine & conditioning routine that they can do besides the shooting. I encouraged them to try to do both sessions when coming in as we have the whole gym these mornings.

Nike Team Sneaker Order -
Coach Mennig will be setting up these to be ordered - date of order must be submitted in a timely fashion for us to ensure getting Green/White colors.
FYI - all payments are made AFTER receipt of the items & checks are made out to Chris Mennig. This order must be submitted by SEPTEMBER 8

I have been asked by the athletic department to make this announcement to you:

STM has implemented an assignment system for all of the home athletic contests. Assignments have been posted to all of the empty slots for the girls basketball season. We understand that there will be times when you have conflicts and cannot work your shift. It is your responsibility to switch with another person.
